Hispanic Services Council

Hispanic Services Council (HSC) is a comprehensive social services organization based in Tampa, FL, dedicated to transforming the lives of Latino families and individuals through targeted programs and advocacy. Since 1992, HSC has provided essential bilingual and bi-cultural services that address critical gaps in education, health, economic mobility, and civic engagement. The organization operates as a cultural and language bridge, connecting Latino families to vital resources and opportunities they need to successfully integrate into life in the United States.

HSC's service portfolio includes immigration legal services and advocacy, with DOJ fully accredited representatives available to assist clients. The organization provides comprehensive support in securing adequate housing, navigating U.S. citizenship processes, enrolling children in school systems, and accessing health services. Through programs like Pathways to Hope, La Red de Padres Activos (The Network of Active Parents), and Puentes de Salud (Bridges to Health), HSC delivers education support, family resource services, and community health promotion to families throughout Hillsborough County.

The organization's impact is measurable and significant—having helped 584 new U.S. citizens achieve citizenship status, supported 3,425 parents in understanding and advocating within the education system, and facilitated food security for over 9,300 adults and children through SNAP enrollment assistance. HSC's team of bilingual community coordinators, family resource specialists, and health promoters work directly with families to remove barriers created by language and cultural differences. Operating in Tampa, Florida, HSC remains committed to influencing the systems and policies that serve Latino communities while providing dignified, respectful support rooted in cultural competency.
